Definitions
- the invention relates to an electronic device, in particular a vehicle navigation device, with operator input means and with communication means for data exchange with an external computer center.
- the invention further relates to a method for performing functions by operator input on an electronic device, with at least one operator input means being assigned an input identification identifier and / or function data.
- function keys which are assigned a corresponding function depending on the context. For example, an arrow key can be used to move a cursor in a menu list and a song on the CD can be skipped within the menu for controlling a CD player, for example.
- these function keys have a different functionality.
- function keys on electronic devices which can be assigned a personally assigned function by a user through manual configuration. So a user can of a personal computer, for example, connect a certain frequently used menu function with a certain key combination (short cut function).
- help buttons are also known, which depend on the menu or context in which the user is in his selection.
- the help button is pressed, the user is then shown help or information related to the corresponding menu item or context.
- the object of the invention was therefore to provide an improved electronic device which, by actuating an operator input means, carries out an assigned function or initiates the execution of the function, the assignment of the functions to the operator input means should be flexibly controllable.
- At least one operator input means has a function for transmitting a specific input identification identifier uniquely assigned to the electronic device and the respective operator input means or by
- Function data assigned to the input identification identifier is assigned to the external computer center for executing the at least one function defined by the input identification identifier and function data. According to the invention, the functions are thus assigned to the operator input means in an external computer center.
- the execution of the function is triggered by actuating an operator input means. Then either an input identification identifier uniquely assigned to the operator input means, for example an action key, is sent to the computer center. An assignment of the input identification identifier to the function data is stored in a function database in the computer center. This function database is evaluated and the execution of the at least one related function is started from this function data.
- functional data can already be uniquely assigned to operator input means in the electronic device. Then the function data is sent to the external computer center, for example as an action field. There, the at least one function to be executed is then determined from the action field with the aid of a function database and the execution of the at least one function is started.
- the execution of the functions can be initiated in such a way that the function commands are sent back to the electronic device and executed in the electronic device.
- the electronic device is designed to receive and execute function commands generated by the computer center on the basis of the input identification identifier or function data sent.
- the electronic device can also be used to receive a selection function list generated by the computer center on the basis of the input identification identifier sent or function data for selecting functions from the Selection function list should be trained.
- a selection function list generated by the computer center on the basis of the input identification identifier sent or function data for selecting functions from the Selection function list should be trained.
- an operator input means is actuated, further selectable functions in the selection function list are thus sent back to the electronic device via the computer center.
- the electronic device can select further functions from this selection function list.
- the selection function list is not edited in the electronic device but in the computer center. This has the advantage that, in addition to the function database, a selection function list can also be edited and adapted via a network of further input terminals.
- the computer center and. Determines function commands which are assigned to the input input identifier and / or the function data sent in a function database
- the evaluation of the input identification code assigned to an operator input means and / or the function data in the computer center with the aid of a function database has the advantage that the function database can be edited by external access.
- the assignment of the functions to certain operator input means can thus be done very comfortably from the outside.
- the function commands are carried out, for example, by the computer center. However, the function commands determined can also be sent back from the computer center to the electronic device. The function commands are then carried out by the electronic device itself.
- the function database in the computer center is edited by an input terminal by means of network access, in particular via the Internet.
- the input terminal can be any Internet computer, and access to the function database should be password-protected. When accessing it should only be possible to edit the functional data for which the user is authorized to access. Access authorization should be based on the electronic devices.
- Figure 1 - schematic representation of a first embodiment of the method according to the invention with a transmission of input identification codes
- Figure 2 schematic representation of editing the function database in the computer center
- Figure 3 - a schematic representation of a second embodiment of the method according to the invention with the transmission of function data
- Figure 5 schematic representation of the editing and forwarding of function data to the electronic device
- Figure 6 - schematic representation of the method according to the invention with a transmission of a selection function list to the electronic device.
- FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention as a schematic block diagram.
- an operator input means for example an action key
- an input identification identifier 2 linked to this operator input means is transmitted to a computer center 3 networked with the electronic device 1.
- the transmission can take place, for example, by radio, if that electronic device 1 is installed in a vehicle.
- the corresponding, at least one associated function for the input identification identifier 2 (action ID), here with the content MyAction (ID,), is now determined from all existing function data 4 or action fields.
- the function data 4 can contain, for example, in addition to the unique input identification identifier 2 (action ID), the information necessary for executing a function, such as the action type, action content and further information.
- action ID the information necessary for executing a function
- the entries "send SMS", "calculate route and send it to the electronic device” etc. may be provided.
- promotional content z. B. a predefined SMS text (Short Message System), a start / destination description for a route, etc. can be set.
- additional information e.g. B. a Textinformatio ⁇ be stored.
- the function 5 belonging to the function data 4 is now determined by the computer center 3 and the execution of the function 5 is initiated.
- the function can be performed by the computer center 3, as outlined in this example, for example by sending a short message (SMS) to a mobile phone.
- SMS short message
- the function database is made accessible in the computer center 3 in such a way that it can be changed at any time via a network, for example the Internet, from a decentralized input terminal. Editing is carried out under the specification of certain formatting rules, with access to the function database preferably being password-protected.
- the computer center 3 supports in addition to the conventional navigation services for the navigation device, such as. B. route guidance, travel guide etc., also other functions.
- various functions are offered to the user on the computer center 3, for example via the website of the service provider, for operator input means of the electronic device 1, that is to say for certain action keys. This can be, for example, sending a short message to a cell phone (SMS), starting route guidance, planning a tour, etc.
- SMS cell phone
- a destination For example, a fixed address can be entered or a point of interest (POI), such as train stations, airports, museums etc., Restaurant chains, for example, can also be specified as a point of interest. If such a category of a restaurant chain has been selected, further information on the definition of the function and assignment to a specific operator input means of electronic device 1 is no longer necessary and the editing process is completed After confirmation of the entries, a field for function data 4 (action field) is created in the computer center 3 in a special function database and stored under a personal area which is only accessible to the user and the service provider.
- action field is created in the computer center 3 in a special function database and stored under a personal area which is only accessible to the user and the service provider.
- the user On a longer journey with the navigation device that follows later, the user is on a motorway, for example, and wants to eat something as quickly as possible. For this, the action key of the operator input means is pressed.
- the input identification identifier 2 of the operated operator input means is then sent to the computer center 3. There by evaluating the Function database found that it is a route guidance action, so that the current location of the vehicle is automatically determined in the computer center 3 and a route calculation to the nearest restaurant of the desired restaurant chain is calculated.
- the route data are then transmitted to the navigation device so that it can take over the further route guidance to the determined restaurant.
- certain telephone numbers and texts for short messages can be defined by the user via the input terminal 6 in the function database of the computer center 3. If a situation now arises in which the predefined message is to be sent, this can be done very simply by the user simply by actuating the assigned operator input means in the electronic device 1. The short message is then sent out by the computer center 3 using the function data 4 stored there.
- the ability to edit the functional data 4, for example via the Internet from external input terminals 6, has further advantages.
- other destinations and route planning can be entered by someone other than the user.
- a freight forwarder can steer his fleet in which the target data to be approached next are entered into the function database by a dispatcher in a control center.
- a vehicle driver can then call up the next destination to be approached from the computer center 3 by actuating an action button or an operator input means in a vehicle navigation device, the vehicle navigation device then taking over the further route guidance.
- Functions can also be assigned to the operator input means by a secretariat for business people.
- the secretariat can specify different destinations or other services such as short messages, traffic jam information, activation of telephone calls, etc.
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the method according to the invention as a block diagram.
- the electronic device 1 when an operator input means is actuated, the electronic device 1 does not transmit an input identification identifier 2, but rather function data 4 in the form of an action field.
- the detailed information belonging to a function is stored in the electronic device 1 itself as field data 4 and not as previously in the computer center 3.
- the function data 4 are sent to the computer center 3. At least one function 5 belonging to the function data 4 is stored there in a function database. By evaluating the function data 4, the corresponding function 5 or a series of functions 5 is determined from the function database and the execution is initiated.
- FIG. 4 shows a modification of the method from FIG. 3.
- the at least one function 5 determined in the function database of the computer center 3 is sent back to the electronic device 1 for further execution. There, this at least one function 5 is then carried out.
- the functions 5 themselves, but not the function data can be edited externally via input terminals 6 in the computer center 3.
- the function data 4 itself can be edited via an input terminal 6 in the computer center 3.
- the action field for the function data 4 can be edited in the computer center 3 and can be transmitted back to the electronic device 1.
- the functional data 4 are then received in the electronic device 1 and assigned to a specific action key, that is to say a specific operator input means.
- the action field with the functional data 4 can also be edited or redefined directly in the electronic device 1 or, for example, via defined short messages from a mobile telephone.
- FIG. 6 shows a further embodiment of the method according to the invention, in which, after an operator input means has been actuated, a function 5 is not carried out directly as before. Instead, a selection function list 7 assigned to the transmitted input identification identifier 2 or the function data 4 is generated in the function database of the computer center 3 and is transmitted back to the electronic device 1. From this selection function list 7, the user can then select and have a desired function or action carried out in the electronic device 1. With this embodiment, menu guidance is provided, which can now be maintained and controlled externally via the computer center 3 and accessing terminals 6 accessing it.
